I have been suffering from hypertension for more than ten years now. I've been taking Avalide for two weeks now. When I first started to take the medication I felt slight nausea but after a week my blood pressure fell to normal levels. My blood pressure has dropped from 180/100 to an average of 135/75. I haven't lost any weight and I haven't noticed any other side effects. I'm pretty Avalide is one of the best medications for high blood pressure, as I have tried many and only this one satisfies me 100%. Thank you for the amazing quality of products and servicing.
